Disability Support at Lendlease
Disability Support
All Abilities at Lendlease
Places can only be their best when they are accessible. Lendlease is committed to striving to create barrier-free workspaces so that people of all abilities can have fulfilling carers. Both for our customers in construction design, and importantly also, for our employees in workplace design.
Workplace Adjustments
Lendlease is committed to creating accessible places that are barrier-free for our customers and employees. We have processes in place and where possible, approve individual adjustments to support the varying needs of our employees, including people experiencing disability, injuries or who have another reason that may require a workplace modification.
Memberships
Lendlease is a member of the Australian Network on Disability (AND), a peak body on disability and accessibility in Australia.
Mental health

National Relay Service (NRS)

Lendlease ran the National Relay Service training across Victoria and New South Wales for any employee who interacts with others via phone, including recruitment specialists, and customer service teams.
